“There shall be no man or woman dare to wash any unclean linen, wash clothes, … nor rinse or make clean any kettle, pot or pan, or any suchlike vessel within 20 feet of the old well or new pump. Nor shall anyone foresaid within less than quarter mile of the fort, dare to do the necessities of nature, since by these unmanly, slothful, and loathsome immodesties, the whole fort may be choked and poisoned.”
